Near, next and far contracts

Every NIFTY futures contract listed on a day is kept, e.g. NIFTY_FUT_1min_<day>_exp<expiry>.parquet. That lets you build calendar spreads and choose your own roll rule instead of inheriting someone else's continuous series.

Back-adjusted continuous series

Use back-adjusted prices for signals and the raw contract prices for P&L.

import re, pandas as pd
from pathlib import Path
pat = re.compile(r"NIFTY_FUT_1min_(\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2})_exp(\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2})")
df = pd.concat(pd.read_parquet(f).assign(day=m[1], exp=m[2])
               for f in Path("NIFTY").rglob("NIFTY_FUT_1min_*.parquet") if (m := pat.search(f.name)))
front = df[df["exp"] == df.groupby("day")["exp"].transform("min")].sort_values("timestamp")
# at each roll, shift older prices by the price difference between the two contracts
